Tsukiji Fish Market
  Tsukiji Fish Market – If the kids are up early and bouncing off the walls (haven't adjusted to Tokyo time), take them for a dawn visit to one of the biggest fish markets in the world. At the Tsukiji Fish Market you can see hundreds of kinds of fish, and grab a steaming bowl of noodles for breakfast. If you're real fish aficionados, also visit the Tsukiji Fish Information Center and Museum.
Kite Museum (Nihonbashi) – Kite flying is a national pastime in Japan. This kite museum has kites of all kinds, from tiny miniatures to large scale ones. The bamboo and paper kites are beautifully decorated, with scenes such as The Battle of Ichinotani," "Waves and Rabbit" or "Kabuki Actors."
